![]() | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R Pros: At the price I paid it (93.90 shipped, NEW from kit) I would say EVERYTHING: sharpness included, at all focal lengths, even at 150. Cons: Clearly it is all plastic, including bayonet: so if you are a photographer from the Kalahari desert or Antarctica use something else, but with very different costs. Opinion: As said I find it an absolutely FANTASTIC zoom (Plastic Fantastic deserved!): I would never have imagined that such a cheap glass could have an optical yield that in my opinion has very little to envy to its brother Pro2.8 (who owns a friend of mine and with whom I compared it)... I was really amazed by the general sharpness (even at 150, even all open, whatever you say, at least for my specimen) that manages to churn out this small pocket miracle. The files it returns are rich in color, well balanced, and with a remarkable microcontrast that contributes greatly to the overall impression of sharpness. Clearly being plastic it must be treated with a minimum of respect, both as regards any shocks and if it happens to use it in very dusty places, or very hot, very cold, or in the pouring rain ... but with a little care I guarantee you that, little brightness apart (but you know) and with its 86 mm. of length (or rather "shortness") will not make you regret lenses of similar or equivalent focal length but with a cost 7/8 times higher or even more: not to mention weights and dimensions. Mounted on a Pen-F in just 616 grams of total weight you go around with the equivalent on full frame of a quality 80-300, and with a negligible cost What more do you want from life ... a Lucanian? :)) sent on August 23, 2022 |
